LONDON, Feb. 14 The first parlia ment of the reign of King EJward VII. was on-d this afternoon by the king In person. The last state ceremony of the kind occurred In 1S61, when Queen Victoria opened parliament accompanied by the prince consort, and fince the death of the latter nothing; equal to today- oomp has been wit nessed In London in connection with the opening of the legislature. Not since the weddlt g of the then Prince of Wales and Princess Alexan dra has the gorgeous state coach used today been s-n in the streets of the capital. In this coach tov'ay the kirg and queen rode from Buckingham pal ace to Westminster. The route of the royal party, which lay through the Mall, the Horse Guards parade, White hall and parliament was guarded by M.000 soldiers. Thousands of London- windows, stands and roofs. The cortege was short, but spectacular. The royal coach, drawn by eight famous cream- colored Hanoverians, with postilions In red and gold liveries, and footmen leading the horse, which were covered with trappings of morocco and gilt, was preceded and followed by life guards In full uniform, with silver breastplates and red plumed helmets, and a small escort of gentlemen-at-arms, In historic costumes, Immediate ly surrounded the vehicle.

There the great officers of state and the others who were to take part In the ceremony had assem bled in order to receive their majes- ties. I Upon the king and queen alighting j from their carriage the procession was quickly formed, and proceeded to the roblng-room. The diminutive chamber was filled to its capacity by the high est and noblest of the kingdom, the greater part of the floor' space being occuDied by peeresses and other ladles introduced by peers. The United States ambassador, Joseph R. Choate, and the other ambassadors occupied a special Inclosure behind the bonch of the blsh- ops. As soon as his majesty was enthroned, the lord chamberlain received the roy al command to summon the members of the house of commons to hear the speech from the throne. The only mem bers of the house of commons not wear ing mourning were three Nationalists. Prior to the reading of the speech the king took the oath. The assemblage stood while the speech was read. The king's speech contained nothing but a resume of conditions In various parts X the realm save the statement that the Duke of Cornwall and York will visit Australia, New Zealand" and Can ada In the near future. The king wore a field marshal's cha peau when he read his speech. His voice . was clear and firm. After the reading of the speech the procession was reformed, the king .proceeded fo the roblng-room, unrobed and left Westminster In the tt carriage. In th soma ordr as It entered. When the speaker returned to the house of commons be rsd the king's speech. FIOHT POSTPONED. 1 New Date for Jeffrles-Ruhlln Bout Not Yet Choirn. CINCINNATI. Feb. If After Judge Holllstir's decision granting a perma nent Injunction against the Jeffrles P.uhWn fight, the promoters held a con ference. It was announced there would be no contest tomorrow night and that another conference would beheld to morrow afternoon for more definite ac tion.
